Ron Silver

...Indeed, you're a former liberal Democrat who became a Bush convert only recently. What do you have against the Democrats?

The Democratic Party is becoming the tool of an extreme domestic leftist insurgency led by the Michael Moores and the Cindy Sheehans and other neoreactionary, neoisolationist Americans.

...[my] new documentary, "Broken Promises: The United Nations at 60," which portrays the U.N. as the height of incompetence. If you and I put a flag outside our door and we called ourselves a country, we would have a seat at the table.

Is that some sort of cheap shot at third-world countries?

I think that the countries that are democracies need to form a caucus and a coalition to make sure it is not controlled by blocs of authoritarian regimes that are permanently hostile to the United States.

One reason they are hostile is that they feel the Bush administration has marginalized the United Nations.

The United Nations marginalized itself...

Mon dieu! A Quebecois n00b! Thanks for the laugh; now go play with the DUmmies in the freeway, Surrender Monkey.

Good film making is unnoticed beauty.

[StAnDeliver]

So often true.

Brave is the word, all right. The Hollywood Left and the NY Left who control most of entertainment, have shunned this multi-talented actor. God bless him, and let's hope when Bruce Willis makes a movie, he thinks of Ron Silver.

Narrator AND interviewee in Dick Morris' film FahrenHYPE 911.

My point is I don't think he has "abandoned Liberalism altogether." He is committedly anti-religious, and remains true to his socialist economic views.

He's simply intolerant of blatant corruption in high places, and of those who would side with the demonstrably evil.

If you can point me to a comment on Hitchens' political "conversion" that he's ever made, I'd be interested in that, but I think he is what he has been.
If only all of the Left could be as open-minded when confronted with reality.

...And is it just me but does anyone else notice script writers are running out of words and are recycling a select few four-letter words. Waiting for novel words from Hollywood.

[stephenjohnbanker]

He is indeed anti-religious, and that is one stain that may never come out.

[stephenjohnbanker]

"And is it just me but does anyone else notice script writers are running out of words and are recycling a select few four-letter words. Waiting for novel words from Hollywood."

You are most correct. I have a screenwriter coming here to my office in an hour, and he would agree with us : )

Ron Silver understands that leftist are neoreactionary.

A quote from the movie "The Incredibles"
"Remember the bad guys on those shows you used to watch on Saturday morning? Well, these guy (terrorists) are not like those guys. They won’t exercise restraint because you’re children. They will kill you if they get the chance. Do not give them that chance.“

[Vigilanteman]

Silver was in the ROTC. He explains he is interested in intelligence, earned a Masters in Chinese, and attended law school for a time . . .

In other words, he has an IQ and real world experience at least three times that of your average Hollywood Marxist.

So he compartmentalizes. As long as he is with us on the WOT and Iraq, America will survive to sweat the small stuff.

[stephenjohnbanker]

240? : )

[stephenjohnbanker]

Absolutely!

[BruceysMom]

I'm going to be a total "chick" here Ron Silver and James Woods are both hot. Something about conservatism in a man that just wreaks of hot.

[aligncare]

And don't you just love how self important they act. It's a movie...now excuse me while I return to this delicate operation inside this patient's head.

[aligncare]

Does Brucey know you talk like this. (Smile).

[kajingawd]

a quebequois noob? No, i'm un Acadien.

you can check my previous posts in the last year, then you can JUDGE again... like Jesus taught you how??!!...
and you consider yourself christian?

Somehow, we must get to the point where our hearts will not let us dispose, for the sake of convenience, a human child. It is a perversion of a medical procedure. That's the truth.
